THE MAN LOOKS DEPRESSED AF
thisss. i have mixed feelings when reading this story
he's just given up entirely, waiting for death. this is no way to live.
This part I feel bad for both of them
This part I feel bad for both of them ╥﹏╥
Are we reading he looks pretty happy actually (could be Stockholm syndrome but nevertheless happy) we've gotta work on our comprehension guys
Fren that’s not giving happy lmao. Because for me, I feel like what I’m seeing is he has like no other choice because he can’t escape anyway so he’s basically stuck. He’s gotten used to the benefits of being basically a mistress so he’s just there
Are YOU reading if that is a happy man to you then rip
Yes I've read "fren"
And if you had! You'd notice.
He's had a monotone personality from the beginning it's it still hasn't changed. A lot of his interactions are w blank a face.
And he's always described as being less expressive with the whole mercenary thing.
Notice that all the dialogue for him are mostly thoughts.
He has grown affection for what ever that man names is.
"He is the most extraordinary man i know"
"well it's normal for one to get out of control their expression when they become comfortable"
"He's got kind of a nice voice"
" that's it I've been infected by a madman, i've been with this perv so long I'm turning into one"
*End of side 10 queue them looking lovely into each other's eyes*
He's lost in interest in women
When he's describing a type of person he likes he describes the the ml
WHEN HES THINK ABOUT THE FIREWORK FESTIVAL HES THINKING ABOUT HOW NICE IT WOULD BE TO SEE IT WITH THE DUKE.
WHEN HE SAY " there's a lot of couples today ☹" HE RAN HIS ASS RIGHT BACK HOME to where!? The DUKE.
He's feeling insecure and
"It be possible impossible for him to show up at some ball and dance with someone
Because his partner...(IS ME)"
LMFAOOOOOOO PLEASEE
He feels like a broken man. He’s just resigned to his fate, not happy but too used to his majesty to be truly miserable anymore. I hope he tries to leave again or at least makes ML suffer literally any kind of consequence, but there might not be enough will inside MC left to care. Very sad ending but kind if realistic when a commoner is cornered by that kind of political and monetary power.
